    My father was a foreman in ball bearing plants most of his adult life. The few times that I was ever in the plants with him, I couldn't believe tha amount of noise all those machines made. When I was in the service I worked around fighter jets, and the noise levels from the ball bearing plants were just about equivalent to the noise from the jet engines.

      Once upon a time, Brian May, the legendary guitarist of Queen, was walking down the streets of London when he spotted an old lady struggling with her bags. Being the gentleman he is, Brian offered to help her carry her bags. As they walked, they struck up a conversation and Brian learned that the old lady's name was Mrs. Oliphant.
      Mrs. Oliphant turned out to be a big fan of Queen, and was thrilled to be talking to one of her musical idols. She mentioned that she had seen them perform live a few times, and even had a treasured photo of Freddie Mercury and herself taken at one of their concerts.
      Feeling a connection with Mrs. Oliphant, Brian invited her to join him for a cup of tea at a nearby cafe. They sat and chatted for hours about music, life, and everything in between. As they were about to leave, Mrs. Oliphant mentioned that she had a surprise for Brian.
      They walked down the street to a small shop where Mrs. Oliphant disappeared into the back room. After a few minutes, she reemerged wearing a donkey jacket covered in patches from various rock bands. Brian was impressed by the jacket's unique style, and Mrs. Oliphant explained that it had been a prized possession of her late husband, who was also a big music fan.
      Feeling touched by Mrs. Oliphant's story, Brian asked if he could take a photo with her wearing the donkey jacket. Mrs. Oliphant was thrilled, and they posed for a picture that would later become a treasured memory for both of them.
      From that day on, Brian and Mrs. Oliphant became good friends, bonding over their love of music and the special connection they had made that day. Brian even dedicated a song to her at one of Queen's concerts, thanking her for reminding him of the true spirit of rock and roll.

      That's where the phrase "It's gone pear shaped" comes from. If the height of the tower, the temperature of the molten slug or the viscosity/temperature of the oil quench at the base of the fall were wrong, the spherical shape would form during the fall and then, on hitting the oil, it would decelerate, with the lowest part continuing on for a short extra distance, leaving the slug in the shape of a pear. That's what I was told many years ago, anyway!

      Trains have used roller bearings on their axles since i believe the 1920's. This was first introduced by the Timken Co. on a large 4-8-4 Northern type locomotive called " The Four Aces". It had roller bearings on all axles and drive rods and was given to different railroads to try out the concept which proved itself very convincingly. Higher speeds, lower maintenance and lower fuel use were the main selling points. Everything rolled easier with less power.
